    Watched it last night, it was above average at best.
    To be honest it was a bit of a let down, more of a soap opera than a sci-fi movie. Dune 2021 was much better.

    • Any notes without spoilers (I mean I know what going to happen)?

      I was planning on watching it on one of the fancy screens tonight.      garbage
    • The cinematography and sound design are both incredible. Buy the story, script and acting were all subpar, bland and kitschy. Still a decent movie to watch.utopian
    • i'd agree. it was a bit of a mess, storyline wise. looks and sounds great, but fuck me it was all over the place as far as the plot went.hans_glib
    • and christopher walken did not convince as the emperor, he was just christopher walken wandering onto arakis for no apparent reasonhans_glib
    • and was it just me or did paul atreides go a bit tetsuo with that cape an' all?hans_glib
    • God, I should have listened. Every time there was a good shot, it immediately cut away into some TV movie shit.garbage
    • There was no drive, the editing was horrible, the acting was horrible. It had no energy of the first one.garbage
    • It had no business even trying to be that long, we walked out with an hour or so left. So fucking boring, they are 100% paying Rotten Tomatoes.garbage
    • You walked out? LOLmonospaced
    • Ha yeah, not dramatically or anything. I was hungry and the missus was only along for the ride. For one night, we were united in not giving a fuck about Dune.garbage
    • I don’t think we saw the same movie. I just saw it and the acting was superb. Editing was masterclass. Story is as close to an archetype of perfectionmonospaced
    • The action and pace was heart pounding and non stop. Maybe you’re just not used to thinking movies, or you failed to grasp the story completely?monospaced
    • If that was heart-pounding, maybe get your pacemaker checked. While 1p1m isn't cemented, forcing the editors into a matching runtime has its disadvantages.garbage
    • But I'm sure you know that, and recognized that the film was full of studio-induced fluff.garbage
    • Or you're just constantly foaming at the mouth at me because I know what I'm talking about and you don't.garbage
